Multiplayer Racing at the Daytona 500

30 Jan Multiplayer Racing at the Daytona 500

After a long history providing virtual driving solutions for drivers and enthusiasts, VRX Simulators will be launching its very own multiplayer racing tournament – VRX Motorsports – with hefty prizes that include sim racing hardware and cash.

Motorsports History

Motorsports has a long and diverse history. With its origins in France, where a French newspaper set up a race from Paris and Rouen and began the phenomenon known as racing. Since then, the explosion of racing took Europe by storm and, after World War II, eventually made its way to the United States.

From the turn of the century, motorsports have reigned strong as an adrenaline-fueled sport with a global reach of millions of passionate fans. Many classes of motorsport have formed with Formula One, NASCAR, and IndyCar being some of the most prevalent.

Since then, popular games such as Project CARS, iRacing.com, and Formula One (game franchise) have attracted top gaming talent from around the world and created a huge variety of tournaments around virtual racing. Fernando Alonso, a prominent F1 driver, just announced the launch of his own eSports team.

VRX eSports League

Debuting at the Daytona 500 in partnership with Jeffrey Earnhardt, VRX will be hosting several virtual racing tournaments in parallel with the real NASCAR tournament. VRX will be hosting mini Daytona 500 tournaments over the weekend and encouraging NASCAR fans to participate in the tournament. Participants will be competing for sim racing hardware, including a full VRX iMotion simulator as well as prize money each day.

The VRX tournaments will follow the VRX Motorsports experience throughout the 36-race NASCAR schedule and be hosting tournaments at each event, offering racers around the world an opportunity to compete in conjunction with actual race tournaments.

The tournaments will center around the NASCAR series of motorsports, but there will be plans for expansion into other forms of motorsport including F1 and IndyCar by the end of the year.

Announcements for participation will be announced through VRX’s mailing list and the VRX Motorsports page on the VRX.ca website.
